Oh yeah tug of war and fetch are always Canine favorites! But the toys never last long lol
My lazy bitch doesn't do either of those things!
But she's starting to kind of come when called, and totally sits when told to do so, so I guess we have that going for us which is nice.
It takes time and skill to train a dog, and both trainer and animal must be “in the zone” for it to be productive.
If I can offer any advice, it’s be patient, take the training a little bit at a time, always end on a positive note (a success) and use lots of very good treats. Little chunks of roasted chicken and cheddar cheese are perfect for this, just shred it small and give them often, every time she succeeds!
Yeah, I have actually been actively trying to be more positively encouraging to her. She does seem to appreciate it. But often she'll try to get away with obnoxious bratty things if I get too doting. But like you said it's lots of work and time.
mine can demolish a 9 inch rawhide bone in less than 2 hours. all but the very middle he never finishes it all
I used to have a Rottweiler Doberman that would gnaw on rawhides until they softened up, then swallow them whole. She had some interesting bm’s, after that I stopped buying them.
